Extruded adjustable skateboard

Abstract

Embodiments are provided of skateboard decks and skateboard assemblies each having a unitary body of extruded aluminum, the body having a top surface, a bottom surface, a first longitudinal edge and a second longitudinal edge. Each embodiment can have a handle portion formed in the unitary body and configured to receive one or more fingers, the handle portion positioned proximate one of the first longitudinal edge and the second longitudinal edge. Each of the embodiments disclosed herein can also comprise a first truck rail and a second truck rail extruded with the unitary body on the bottom surface, the first truck rail and the second truck rail running along at least a portion of a length of the unitary body and forming a track configured to movably receive a plurality of truck assemblies.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A skateboard deck comprising:
 a unitary body of extruded aluminum, the body having a top surface, a bottom surface, a first longitudinal edge and a second longitudinal edge, and a first truck rail and a second truck rail extruded with the unitary body on the bottom surface, the first truck rail and the second truck rail running along at least a portion of a length of the unitary body and forming a track configured to movably receive a plurality of truck assemblies. 
 
     
     
       2. The skateboard deck of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a handle portion formed in the unitary body and configured to receive one or more fingers, the handle portion positioned proximate one of the first longitudinal edge and the second longitudinal edge. 
 
     
     
       3. The skateboard deck of  claim 2  further comprising:
 an additional handle portion formed in the unitary body and configured to receive one or more fingers, the additional handle portion positioned proximate another of the first longitudinal edge and the second longitudinal edge. 
 
     
     
       4. The skateboard deck of  claim 2 , wherein the handle portion comprises four cutout portions each configured to receive a finger there through. 
     
     
       5. The skateboard deck of  claim 4 , wherein each of the four cutout portions is fitted with a grommet of a polymer material. 
     
     
       6. The skateboard deck of  claim 1 , wherein the first truck rail and the second truck rail run a length of the unitary body continuously from a front end to a rear end of the unitary body. 
     
     
       7. The skateboard deck of  claim 1 , wherein the unitary body further comprises:
 a first channel formed adjacent the first truck rail and a second channel formed adjacent the second truck rail. 
 
     
     
       8. The skateboard deck of  claim 7 , wherein each of the first channel and second channel is configured to receive a protective strip. 
     
     
       9. The skateboard deck of  claim 7 , wherein the first channel is formed between the first truck rail and a first wall running parallel to the first truck rail and the second channel is formed between the second truck rail an a second wall running parallel to the second truck rail, the first wall and second wall extruded with the unitary body. 
     
     
       10. The skateboard deck of  claim 1 , wherein the first longitudinal edge and the second longitudinal edge are flared upward during extrusion. 
     
     
       11. The skateboard deck of  claim 1 , wherein the unitary body is a contoured unitary body having level surfaces with different heights with respect to ground level. 
     
     
       12. The skateboard deck of  claim 11 , wherein the first truck rail and the second truck rail run a length of the contoured unitary body continuously from a front end to a rear end of the contoured unitary body. 
     
     
       13. A skateboard assembly, comprising:
 a unitary body of extruded aluminum, the body having a top surface, a bottom surface, a first longitudinal edge and a second longitudinal edge; 
 a first truck rail and a second truck rail extruded with the unitary body on the bottom surface, the first truck rail and the second truck rail running along at least a portion of a length of the unitary body and forming a track; and 
 a plurality of truck assemblies attached to the bottom surface, wherein each of the plurality of truck assemblies comprises a guide portion movably receivable in the track and selectively positionable along a length of the track. 
 
     
     
       14. The skateboard assembly of  claim 13 , wherein the first truck rail and the second truck rail run a length of the unitary body continuously from a front end to a rear end of the unitary body. 
     
     
       15. The skateboard assembly of  claim 13 , wherein the unitary body further comprises:
 a first channel formed adjacent the first truck rail and a second channel formed adjacent the second truck rail, each of the first channel and second channel configured to receive a protective strip. 
 
     
     
       16. The skateboard assembly of  claim 13  further comprising:
 a handle portion formed in the unitary body and configured to receive one or more fingers, the handle portion positioned proximate one of the first longitudinal edge and the second longitudinal edge. 
 
     
     
       17. The skateboard assembly of  claim 16  further comprising:
 an additional handle portion formed in the unitary body and configured to receive one or more fingers, the additional handle portion positioned proximate another of the first longitudinal edge and the second longitudinal edge.
